Looking At the Dagger I Just Smiled Chapter 7

Theo Chu didn't notice that Kieran Han had taken out his medicine once. He slept at home for two days, his fever subsided, and he still got up and went to work. He was still driving the second-hand white Honda. He was wearing a white coat over a light-colored shirt. He was dressed freshly and had a gentle attitude. There was no sign of "someone behind the scenes."

But after the dinner party, almost everyone in the unit spread the word that this Chu Gong, who was usually low-key and calm, did things in an unhurried and unhurried manner, was not well-known and focused on doing academic work, actually had a lot of background behind him, and his background It’s so big that even the boss above him can’t handle it. Look, Miles Xu pretended to be mad and beat him up under the influence of wine. As a result, two teeth were knocked out in public, and he was even forced by the leader to carry a large bag to Gong Chu to apologize! Before this incident came out, Miles Xu was very popular and sought after in the work unit as a relative of the leader!

Everyone was whispering and looking at Theo Chu with different eyes than usual. When they met and greeted each other in the morning, they couldn't help but feel a little affectionate in their words.

Theo Chu seemed not to be aware of all this, or even if he was aware of it, he was too lazy to pay more attention. He greeted his colleagues one by one politely as usual, punched in, took the information, and walked into the office without looking back. .

As a result, my colleagues secretly tutted: "This is the real master with a background! Look at his demeanor! The guy named Xu is just a distant relative of the boss, and he is like a king of heaven for the 285,000 yuan... ...."

Of course, Theo Chu's detached status in the unit was the result of Kieran Han's greetings up and down. Ever since he discovered that Theo Chu was taking antidepressant medicine that day, he had been observing Theo Chu's mental state from time to time, and found that this man actually liked going to work. He seemed to be in a particularly calm and relaxed mood when he was sitting in the laboratory, not at all repressed and silent or cold-faced when he was at home.

Kieran Han liked this very much.

He wanted to let everyone in the world know that Theo Chu belonged to him, but he couldn't say it clearly. He could only vaguely declare that Theo Chu was his friend, his strongest and closest friend. As for how close this "friend" is, it's up to the heads of the scientific research institute to figure it out.

When Kieran Han walked out of the bedroom while tying his tie that morning, he saw Theo Chu sitting at the dining table, holding a cup of coffee in his hand and looking at his laptop. There was a half-open window next to the dining table, and the morning wind blew through the broken hair on his forehead. His face was so white that it was almost transparent, his eyes were as dark as lake water, and his lips were so thin and light that you wanted to touch them with your fingers. Kieran Han stood at the door and looked at him for a long time. After admiring him enough, he asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

As soon as Theo Chu came to his senses, he immediately raised his hand to close the computer and said, "It's nothing."

Kieran Han stepped forward and grabbed his hand that was closing the computer. He always hated that Theo Chu kept something from him and ignored him when it came to anything. Whenever Theo Chu said it was nothing, he couldn't help but want to investigate and see what was going on.

I saw a forum post on my computer. The title was a follow-up report on the death of a migrant worker child by Finn Hou, a second-generation official. It was accompanied by several photos of the child's parents holding their heads and crying. Next to it was Finn Hou taking his female companion for a drive late at night. In the picture, Finn Hou is wearing expensive clothes and looks high-spirited. The comparison between the two is extremely dazzling.

Kieran Han glanced at it and smiled: "Although the incitement is generally true, Finn Hou really does not intend to pay compensation. The person in charge of this case is his parents' old subordinate. They have already prepared the evidence, so they say it is The migrant worker child ran out of the red light and crashed into the car. "

Theo Chu closed her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that there were many witnesses at that time? It's an ironclad fact. Could it be that those in the Hou family could still confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense?"

"Many witnesses? What are many witnesses? The media has issued a gag order, newspapers dare not report it, and even online speech will soon be subject to regulatory blockade. Can witnesses still make trouble in front of the Supreme People's Court? Finn Hou, he My parents only have this son. Although I think he is a waste of society, his parents regard him as a treasure--who said he was born into a good child. "

"...If it's handled this way, wouldn't the Hou family not have to pay a penny?"

"According to Finn Hou's temper, he doesn't want to pay compensation. If there is a big trouble, he may pay hundreds of thousands." Kieran Han sneered: "It's just hundreds of thousands, and Finn Hou is still unwilling in every possible way. If it hadn't been for Rowan Hou If his father stopped him, this kid would definitely go and smash up the house of the migrant worker couple."

Theo Chu remained silent, his face seemed a little disgusted, a little angry, and a little tired.

It was rare for him to say a few words to Kieran Han. This morning he asked a few more questions about Finn Hou, and his tone was very calm. Kieran Han felt happy and talked so much. When he came back to his senses, he found Theo Chu sitting there quietly. Although his expression did not change, his eyes were full of deep sadness.

Kieran Han was startled and couldn't help cursing in his heart. Who knew whether Finn Hou's trivial incident would arouse Theo Chu's depression? This person has always sympathized with the weak and hated the privileged class. He usually disliked him in every way. He must have felt even more depressed when he heard about the Hou family's affairs.

"Actually, it's not as tragic as you think. Recently, the migrant worker couple got a sum of money from somewhere, probably more than 200,000 yuan. It is said that it was a donation that a mysterious person entrusted the newspaper to transfer to them? Then they hired a The lawyer's lawsuit has caused a lot of controversy. Now that the news is so tight, even if Finn Hou escapes this disaster, his future career will be absolutely ruined. I think it will be difficult to do business. Who wants to be with someone like Finn Hou? What about cooperation? Most of China knows that he is an unreasonable person who kills people. "

Kieran Han wanted to say something to comfort Theo Chu, but suddenly his phone rang.

When he saw the number, it turned out to be his home phone, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The people who would call him with this number can be counted on five fingers, and the most likely person is his Second Young Master Han's biological father, Commander Han.

Kieran Han avoided Theo Chu, walked quickly to the balcony, picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

"Kieran Han, it's me." Commander Han is in his sixties this year. His hair is completely gray, but his voice is still full of energy and sounds extremely tough. "Your mother asked me to call you. Why can't I see you recently?" people?"

Kieran Han is almost thirty this year, but he still retains the habits of his childhood. He can't help but stand upright when talking to Commander Han: "I recently...lived outside."

"It's been half a month since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't seen you come home for even one night! Your mother asked you to come back quickly, and the whole family finally got together for a meal."

Kieran Han hummed.

Commander Han was silent for a while and then suddenly asked: "How did I hear that you have someone outside, a man?"

There was a little hesitation in asking this question. Commander Han had never asked about the messy things that juniors did outside in the past. If he hadn't heard from his old comrades that Kieran Han was particularly serious this time, he would have ignored people when he was in the army. He has not done so for more than a year. I broke it off, and after returning to Beijing, I lived with that person all day long...

After all, Kieran Han was not a young man in his early twenties. Several of his comrade's children were already married and had families. He was the only one who was single, so his elders couldn't help but pay attention.

"...Well," Kieran Han said, "I'm not honest yet. I'll take it home for you to see when I become honest."

There was a click of the door closing outside. It was when Theo Chu had finished breakfast, changed her clothes and went out to work.

Although he couldn't refuse to live with Kieran Han, he ignored Kieran Han to the extreme. They obviously lived under the same roof during the day and slept on the same bed at night, but they regarded Kieran Han as if they were air, turning a blind eye and hearing nothing.

"He's a nice guy. He's an engineer. He's not here to mess with the world. Don't worry." Kieran Han looked at the door and made sure that Theo Chu left without even saying hello. There was a hint of sadness on his face unknowingly. Leng Yi said, "------It's just that my bones are a little bit harder."

"Stop doing that B@st@ard thing of bullying men and women!" Commander Han scolded, and then softened his tone: "Come back for dinner in the evening and stay at home for two days. I have been back in Beijing for such a long time, but I don't even have access to my home." If you don’t post it, it’s too ugly.”

Kieran Han sneered and said a dispensable "yes".

As soon as Theo Chu arrived at the unit, she received a call from Kieran Han: "I'm not going home tonight. You can get something to eat by yourself. Damn it, the old man sent a message to me to go back. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the next two days."

Theo Chu was standing in the dressing room, taking off the white coat with her own name tag from the hanger in one hand, holding her cell phone in the other, and humming indiscriminately.

"I'm not a teenager anymore. Do you have to take me home every three days to listen to the old man's training? What a ****!" Kieran Han paused, and his tone became gloomy: "What are you talking about? What do you think? I don’t know how happy you are, right? Tell you, don’t think you’ll be upset if I’m not home for two days. If you dare not answer the phone when the time comes, I’ll come back and kill you!”

When he said the last few words, his tone was not so fierce, but instead revealed a bit of strong intimacy.

Theo Chu said in a calm voice: "I understand."

"What do you know? If you say a few more words, you will die, right?" Kieran Han was still dissatisfied: "Do you think that as long as the old man asks me to go home, you will be free? Next time you go back with me, you have to pass this test. Yes, don't think you can escape."

Theo Chu's fingers holding the phone stiffened, and her nails turned blue-white.

"What, you have nothing to say?" Kieran Han waited for a while, but did not hear his answer, and his tone became proud, "The old man has been in the army all his life. He originally wanted to have a scholar in his family, but it turns out that our eldest son is a mess. I I joined the army again. I heard that you were an intellectual engaged in scientific research. The old man was quite happy and said that this is right. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. "

"...I know." Theo Chu endured it before interrupting Kieran Han, "The time is up, I'm going to evolve into the laboratory. Let's just say that."

Without waiting for Kieran Han to speak, he hung up the phone and threw the phone into the locker.

Kieran Han was hung up on by Theo Chu not once or twice. Although he has a domineering temper, he can only control the issue of Theo Chu's stay or leave at most. You can't force others to greet you with a smile and please politely, right? If you have a mouth on someone's face, even if you are the King of Heaven, you can't force someone to smile, right?

Kieran Han cursed, stepped on the brakes and stopped at the gate of Han's house.

Speaking of his words "Fcuk", only a small part of the reason was that Theo Chu hung up on him. The fundamental reason was that he had to go back to Han's house for dinner.

It cannot be said that Kieran Han and his family have no feelings at all, but their feelings are not deep at all. When he was a child, he rarely lived with the commander and his wife. The deepest impression of Kieran Han on his father was his sullen and angry lectures; on his mother, he could only think of the commander's wife's exquisite dress and lack of concern for the family. Attitude.

Kieran Han's treatment when he was a child was different from that of his brother Han Qiang. When Han Qiang was born, Commander Han had not yet been promoted, so he spent more time with his wife and children, and the family could barely get along day and night. Although Commander Han's attitude toward his son is similar to that of his subordinates, the commander's wife values   the eldest son more. After all, women have different feelings towards their first children, and the relationship between mother and child is also cultivated deeper.

The situation in Kieran Han is quite different. He was only one year younger than the eldest son, which meant that just two months after giving birth to Han Qiang, the commander's wife became pregnant with her second child. Mrs. Han suffered a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to her eldest son. Only two months was not enough to take care of her body. This second child came at the wrong time.

When Mrs. Han learned that she was pregnant again, her first thought was to have the child aborted - she was born in an art troupe, and she was the beauty of the troupe back then. She was the most aloof and arrogant, always concerned about her appearance and body. More caring than other women.

However, for a family like theirs, how easy is it to have an abortion? The commander's wife had been quarreling for several months but could not get the commander to nod, so she had no choice but to give birth to the child unwillingly.

Who would have known that Kieran Han was born with blessings. The birth went very smoothly. He cried as soon as he was born. He was in good health, and his facial features were very much like his father's. Before Commander Han could finish being happy, the appointment for promotion and transfer suddenly came down, asking him to immediately move to another province to take up a post.

After all, Commander Han is a person who has been working hard in politics all his life. As soon as he got the appointment, he knew that he was building up his seniority. When he returned to Beijing at the end of his term in a few years, he would still be promoted.

Therefore, the birth of Kieran Han is like a war. It was bumpy at the beginning, difficult in the middle, but everyone was happy at the end, and it also came with a bright and magnanimous future.

At that time, the Han family moved out of the country, but they only brought their eldest son Han Qiang, who was relatively easy to move. Kieran Han was born and was not exposed to wind, so he stayed in Beijing with the nanny, guard, wet nurse and other related people. Commander Han served in a foreign province for eight years. During these eight years, he only visited Beijing twice, each time lasting no more than half a month. When his family moved back to Beijing eight years later, Kieran Han and his parents faced each other and neither knew who the other was.

This resulted in a huge difference in the personalities of the two brothers of the Han family - Han Qiang relied on his parents since he was a child, and had a particularly deep relationship with his mother. Most of his playmates when he was a child were the children of officials from other provinces. Most of these children were gone when they grew up. Beijing; Kieran Han, on the other hand, has never had a mouthful of mother's milk since he was born. He has relied on himself for everything since he was a child. When someone hit him with a brick, he took a group of children to fight and kill in the military compound and became king and hegemon. His academic performance was poor. Got to be a mess.

Although the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, most people’s hearts are biased, and parents are no exception. Han Qiang has been raised by his mother since he was a child. He is neatly dressed and smart. Since kindergarten, he has known not to fight with children, not to wipe his nose on his clothes, and not to make any noise when eating and drinking soup. Kieran Han didn't know who his parents were since he was a child. He didn't know dozens of words even when he was eight years old. He only knew how to hang out with a bunch of children from military families all day long. One day, he would climb trees and destroy bird's nests, and the next day, he would hit people in the back and turn their heads away. The contrast between the two was so stark that the commander's wife naturally had a preference - she was more doting on her eldest son and more harsh on her second son.

Children's hearts are very sensitive. Since you don't like me, there is no need for me to like you. Later, even if Commander Han treated his two sons equally, it could not change Kieran Han's character of not being close to his parents. He joined the army just after his eighteenth birthday. Other children would cry and see each other off before leaving, but he was so happy when he left. He even called his buddies in the army one by one to reminisce about old times and prepare to join the army as soon as they arrived. Throw a party to entertain him.

Kieran Han is turning 30 this year, and he has lived with his parents for no more than ten years. Even if there is family affection by blood, how deep can this affection be in reality? In addition, later Han Qiang killed someone with his car, and when he was covering up the evidence, he sued a strong man from a court in Han and Yue, but Kieran Han was not willing to help. Because of this matter, the commander's wife has been complaining about Kieran Han for the past two years and rarely gives him a good look.

So Kieran Han recently returned to Beijing from Nujiang. As soon as he got off the plane, he went directly to Theo Chu. It was the first time he had visited his home today.

Kieran Han slammed the door of the jeep, stepped up the steps in two steps at a time, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'm back!"
